Snow has arrived in Hungary! – PHOTOS, VIDEO, UPDATED

Snow arrived in Hungary this morning. Interestingly, the first snow did not fall in the mountains but in a town on the edge of the Hungarian Great Plains, Dunaújváros. The Hungarian town well-known for its struggling steelworks was covered this morning in a thin layer of white precipitation. Furthermore, reports came from Debrecen and Tiszafüred about light snowfall.

According to portfolio.hu, the Dunaújváros snowfall was caused by the so-called industrial snowfall phenomena. Industrial snow occurs near sources of heat, moisture and atmospheric particulate matter. It usually occurs at nighttime, in a combination of freezing temperatures, stagnant low stratus clouds or fog, and a temperature inversion. It falls from a low altitude as fine ice spikes, having not had time to grow to the more usual shaped snowflake.

“We’re not joking! Here’s the first snow”, Időkép wrote above this photo:
